Terminology

These are u-boats. In the walk-in freezer.



U-boats are supposed to be used to move stuff around. They can also be used for storage. Generally you don't keep u-boats in a freezer, especially empty u-boats. But, well...

This is a pallet. In the walk-in freezer.



Pallets arrive at the store with about 5 feet worth of product on top of them. Normally you would break one down (take all the stuff off of it) and then take the empty pallet and stack it on top of all the other empty pallets in the receiving area. Or, you know, just leave that last box on there for somebody else to deal with. Whatev.

And here is a photo of an empty pallet and a manual pallet jack. I found these in the meat cooler after i had spent about ten minutes searching for the jack.



The jack is actually in the up position, which means all I had to do was pull it out of the cooler and wheel it down to the receiving area so I could put it on top of the stack of empty pallets. Yeah.

And here's me, posing seductively with a u-boat, and my work knife. I heart my work knife. I use it to cut open pallets and slice boxes and threaten my co-workers. There's also a bale and and a flat cart in the background. Fun!





So now you know what all of my little tools look like.
